The Rainbow Repairman

For Mrs Alphabet

Who’s up early each and every morning

patching up holes

and fixing up old

used rainbows?

Buckets of paint filled with someday morning.

It’s hard to explain

but wishing for rain

brings rainbows.

The rainbow repairman

weaving the sky in his loom.

The rainbow repairman

chasing the blues

and turning the greens into dreams.

On a ladder long as time he’s working

painting the sky

with colors to dye

the rainbows.

Sitting on clouds and thinking out loud

each evening.

Colors were made

never to fade

on rainbows.

    Really nice. Clever, (or should I say fishy?) the rainbow trout at the end!
